Optically generated excitons dictate the absorption and emission spectrum of doped semiconductor transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers. We show that upon increasing the electron density, the elementary optical excitations develop a roton-like dispersion, evidenced by a shift of the lowest energy state to a finite momentum on the order of the Fermi momentum. This effect emerges due to Pauli exclusion between excitons and the electron Fermi sea, but the robustness of the roton minimum in these systems is a direct consequence of the long-range nature of the Coulomb interaction and the nonlocal dielectric screening characteristic of monolayers. Finally, we show that the emergence of rotons could be related to hitherto unexplained aspects of photoluminescence spectra in doped transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers.

Achieving fully tunable quantum confinement of excitons has been a long-standing goal in optoelectronics and quantum photonics. We demonstrate electrically controlled 1D quantum confinement of neutral excitons by means of a lateral p-i-n junction in
a monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductor. Exciton trapping in the i-region occurs due to the dc Stark effect induced by in-plane electric fields. Remarkably, we observe a new confinement mechanism arising from the repulsive polaronic dressing of excitons by electrons and holes in the surrounding regions. The overall confinement potential leads to quantization of excitonic motion, which manifests in the emergence of multiple spectrally narrow, voltage-dependent resonances in reflectance and photoluminescence measurements. Additionally, the photoluminescence from confined excitonic states exhibits high degree of linear polarization, highlighting the 1D nature of quantum confinement. Electrically tunable quantum confined excitons may provide a scalable platform for arrays of identical single photon sources and constitute building blocks of strongly correlated photonic many-body systems.
Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers are promising candidates for exploring new electronic and optical phenomena and for realizing atomically thin optoelectronic devices. They host tightly bound electron-hole pairs (excitons) that can be effici
ently excited by resonant light fields. Here, we demonstrate that a single monolayer of molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) can dramatically modify light transmission near the excitonic resonance, acting as an electrically switchable mirror that reflects up to 85% of incident light at cryogenic temperatures. This high reflectance is a direct consequence of the excellent coherence properties of excitons in this atomically thin semiconductor, encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride. Furthermore, we show that the MoSe2 monolayer exhibits power- and wavelength-dependent nonlinearities that stem from exciton-based lattice heating in the case of continuous-wave excitation and exciton-exciton interactions when fast, pulsed laser excitation is used. These observations open up new possibilities for studying quantum nonlinear optical phenomena and topological photonics, and for miniaturizing optical devices.
The emerging field of valleytronics aims to exploit the valley pseudospin of electrons residing near Bloch band extrema as an information carrier. Recent experiments demonstrating optical generation and manipulation of exciton valley coherence (the s
uperposition of electron-hole pairs at opposite valleys) in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provide a critical step towards control of this quantum degree of freedom. The charged exciton (trion) in TMDs is an intriguing alternative to the neutral exciton for control of valley pseudospin because of its long spontaneous recombination lifetime, its robust valley polarization, and its coupling to residual electronic spin. Trion valley coherence has however been unexplored due to experimental challenges in accessing it spectroscopically. In this work, we employ ultrafast two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy to resonantly generate and detect trion valley coherence in monolayer MoSe$_2$ demonstrating that it persists for a few-hundred femtoseconds. We conclude that the underlying mechanisms limiting trion valley coherence are fundamentally different from those applicable to exciton valley coherence. Based on these observations, we suggest possible strategies for extending valley coherence times in two-dimensional materials.
Tightly bound excitons in monolayer semiconductors represent a versatile platform to study two-dimensional propagation of neutral quasiparticles. Their intrinsic properties, however, can be severely obscured by spatial energy fluctuations due to a hi
gh sensitivity to the immediate environment. Here, we take advantage of the encapsulation of individual layers in hexagonal boron nitride to strongly suppress environmental disorder. Diffusion of excitons is then directly monitored using time- and spatially-resolved emission microscopy at ambient conditions. We consistently find very efficient propagation with linear diffusion coefficients up to 10,cm$^2$/s, corresponding to room temperature effective mobilities as high as 400,cm$^2$/Vs as well as a correlation between rapid diffusion and short population lifetime. At elevated densities we detect distinct signatures of many-particle interactions and consequences of strongly suppressed Auger-like exciton-exciton annihilation. A combination of analytical and numerical theoretical approaches is employed to provide pathways towards comprehensive understanding of the observed linear and non-linear propagation phenomena. We emphasize the role of dark exciton states and present a mechanism for diffusion facilitated by free electron hole plasma from entropy-ionized excitons.
The monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are an emergent semiconductor platform exhibiting rich excitonic physics with coupled spin-valley degree of freedom and optical addressability. Here, we report a new series of low energy excitonic emissi
on lines in the photoluminescence spectrum of ultraclean monolayer WSe2. These excitonic satellites are composed of three major peaks with energy separations matching known phonons, and appear only with electron doping. They possess homogenous spatial and spectral distribution, strong power saturation, and anomalously long population (> 6 ${mu}$s) and polarization lifetimes (> 100 ns). Resonant excitation of the free inter- and intra-valley bright trions leads to opposite optical orientation of the satellites, while excitation of the free dark trion resonance suppresses the satellites photoluminescence. Defect-controlled crystal synthesis and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements provide corroboration that these features are dark excitons bound to dilute donors, along with associated phonon replicas. Our work opens opportunities to engineer homogenous single emitters and explore collective quantum optical phenomena using intrinsic donor-bound excitons in ultraclean 2D semiconductors.
